Abstract :
The user problem in standardization will not be resolved by the well intentioned reforms underway in various standards organisations because its cause lies elsewhere. It lies with the different situations of the various types of users, and with contradictions in the standards process itself. Even the new forums and consortia, which are widely hailed as the answer to the user problems. Nonetheless, participation is not likely to diminish because the reasons for participation lies with benefits other than standards
